  • Summary

  • You've likely heard the advice that writers should show instead of tell. Sometimes, it's good advice and can make your scenes better and your story more compelling. But it can also be terrible advice that will make your book unbelievably long and hard to get through.
    If you show every single thing in the room or on the journey where your story takes place, then the plot, characters, and even the dialogue get crowded out.
    But how do you know when you should and shouldn't show?
    In this month's episode, Angela Hunt lays out some guidelines on when showing improves your story and when it doesn't. You'll learn:

    • When showing has the most impact
    • When telling is actually useful
    • Where writers are often tempted to tell when they should show

    Listen in or check out the blog version of this episode to find out when you can break the rule of "Show, don't tell."
